Spaceshift Inc., a Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku-based satellite data solutions provider, releases its new brand SateAIs™ through which it aims at systematizing satellite data analysis services and developing AI-driven solutions across various industry verticals. By launching an organized application-focused framework for selecting AI analysis services, the company is offering a set of new services dealing with time series change detection and disaster monitoring.
It is part of the broader vision by SpaceShift to enhance the social implementation of satellite data analysis through delivering actionable insights directly to local governments, businesses, and disaster response agencies.
Organizing Satellite Data for Practical Use
To date, SpaceShift’s AI analysis services have been provided separately, which makes it difficult for users to clearly understand for what purpose the satellite data can serve. The SateAIs brand unifies these services into a structured sub-brand system, grouped by domains: urban planning, oceans, environmental monitoring, disaster response, and agriculture.

This structured approach allows users to quickly identify and select the AI analysis tools that are best adapted to their needs and goals. The launch also includes two new AI services under SateAIs:
SateAIs Time – Time Series Change Detection AI
SateAIs Earth – Disaster Detection AI
Other services which will be launched shortly include SateAIs Umi, meaning Ocean, and SateAIs Kan, meaning Environment.
SateAIs Time: Monitoring Changes in Real Time
The SateAIs Time service utilizes periodic satellite observations and AI analysis to find changes that take place on the surface of the Earth. This platform is very useful for infrastructure, factories, airports, real estate, and other critical facility monitoring.
Two data delivery formats are available for users:
Email notifications of the detected changes, and API for integration of detection results into customized systems.
It makes it much easier for enterprises and government agencies to keep pace with emerging events and, if need be, efficiently take real-time action.
SateAIs Earth: Enhancing Disaster Response
SateAIs’ Earth service currently applies satellite imagery and AI to automatically detect flood zones, landslides, and other disaster-impacted areas. Our service gives a real-time view of disaster damage. This helps local governments and private companies focus on recovery efforts. They can better manage infrastructure and speed up insurance claims.
Japan faces serious threats from typhoons, landslides, and floods. Quick, data-based choices help it react well. AI transforms large satellite data into valuable insights. This helps organizations act quickly and direct resources where they’re needed most.
Driving Industry Adoption and Social Implementation
The launch of SateAIs marks the next step in the social utilization of satellite data analysis. With domain-specific AI packages bundled in easy-to-access delivery formats like APIs, dashboards, and cloud platforms, SpaceShift seeks to make satellite data useful for a wide array of industries.
From 2026 onwards, it plans to expand its products and services to include:
AI detecting vessels for maritime and port monitoring.
Yield prediction AI to aid in agricultural planning and resource management.
It is the aim of SpaceShift to accelerate further AI adoption and practical use of satellite data in societal and commercial applications through co-creation with local governments, companies, and research institutions.
Implications for Japan’s Tech and Business Sectors
The launch of SateAIs has the potential to reshape multiple industries in Japan:
災害管理: With AI-powered satellite analysis, cities and private groups can respond to emergencies quickly. This reduces human error and boosts security.
Infrastructure and Urban Planning: Observing urban growth and infrastructure projects helps make smart choices and quick repairs.
農業: AI satellite images predict crop yields and track environmental factors. This helps farmers use resources wisely. They can boost crop yields and embrace precision farming.
Business Intelligence: Satellite data powers market analysis, logistics planning, and operations. It drives smart business decisions.
The SateAIs brand and API integrations offer new chances for tech developers, startups, and enterprise IT teams. They can easily add satellite AI insights to their platforms. This enhances innovation in analytics, cloud services, and IoT apps.
今後の展望
スペースシフト plans to continue the development of new AI packages and delivery formats, further embedding satellite data analysis into operational workflows. SateAIs will drive Japan’s shift to data-driven decision-making. They provide customized AI solutions in easy-to-use formats.
Using AI to turn raw satellite data into useful insights, this initiative follows a key tech trend. It helps businesses operate better, respond quickly to disasters, and monitor the environment accurately. Japan’s local governments, companies, and research groups will gain as the SateAIs ecosystem expands. They will enjoy satellite data applications that are quicker, more precise, and easy to scale.
